DIY brake caliper painting

removed wheels, painted the calipers with the Duplicolor kit from Auto Zone. SUPER easy and did not leave any brush strokes. still have lots of paint left after 4 coats on each. i did not remove and paint either. just taped off and painted what you can see with the wheel on.

I have had mine for close to 6 months. I would give it a 9/10 compared to the day I did it. Not bad for a few bucks and a little of my time. I would recommend it. great job man.
